How to build MUSTY from the tiles

In 7 Little Words you don't type the answer — you assemble it from the puzzle's shared tile bank, and every tile is used exactly once across all seven answers. Puzzle 2's tiles for July 23, 2026 are:

SHI · PME · NT · MU · STY · TRI · FLE · DE · FIN · ITE · TE · MPE · STU · OUS · ENG · RAV · ERS · HAI · RB · ALL

MUSTY is built by combining the tiles MU · STY in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in MUSTY early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
